20240124 Weekly Wine Times
That's right //FirstName//,
Audrey, John, Debbie, and Marilee are retiring from the wine business this year. We've had quite a run and are grateful for the part you played in supporting Bent Oak Winery.
We'll be closing the tasting room on February 5th but will continue with our online sales until a new ownership team takes over (so watch your newsletters for some fantastic inventory close-out sales!).
After the 5th, we will be open for online order pick ups Wednesdays-Fridays 3:00-7:00 or Saturdays 1:00-5:00 until further notice.
Thanks again for supporting us the last 8 years! Audrey, John, Debbie, and Marilee

The grapes for our Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve are harvested from the carefully-managed Windsor Oaks Vineyards. Windsor Oaks is a 750 acre vineyard covering the northeastern extent of the Russian River Valley. Hot midday temperatures give way to maritime conditions in the evenings and mornings, when cool fog snakes its way up the Russian River.
Tasting Notes: Dark red fruit and anise on the nose; plum, black cherry, black currant, leather, and thick tannins linger on the palate.
Recommended Food Pairings: Ribeye steak, wine braised short ribs, roasted duck breast, braised venison, game meats, bbq lamb ribs.
Recipe of the Month: Slow Cooker Short Ribs With a Delectable Red Wine Sauce
Awards: Not yet!
